Force brace for physical pre-season contest There have been countless contact drills and a couple of internal trials, but there is nothing like the first full-blooded hit-out of the season.
Western Force players have been dishing it up to each other in training and have had two warm-up games against sides of academy and local players.
But they face their first big test tonight against Samoa A in a pre-season trial at Lark Hill. The Pacific Islanders are renowned for their ferocious tackling.
